My Soul Is My Computer

Lyrics

[Intro] So much has been said about soul, it's been used as a racial phrase Haven't you heard about soul flicks and soul food these days? Religions preach save your soul or you surely will burn in hell We'd like to air out a few of our views if there's anything left to tell [Verse 1] My soul is my computer, my IBM machine It registers life's lessons and what I think they mean To get the real true meaning of lessons as they're taught Control of mind and body is something to be sought [Verse 2] The promptings of the spirit can spur my will I find And lead me to the lessons that elevate my mind To understand the spirit is what I'm aiming for And profit by the lessons that knock upon my door [Bridge] While my spirit is encased in my computer The former is neuter to my will Yet its promptings if followed as a tutor Can lead me to the goals I must fulfill [Verse 3] The total computation that my computer makes Will incarnate my spirit and form desire takes When all desire ceases, computer's work is done I'll come to know the spirit and freedom will be won [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] The principles I value experience has taught But have I fed computer the proper train of thought? Experience the teacher will make me weak or wise Evaluate the lessons and then computer rise [Verse 5] The many imperfections of personality Are here in my computer within the depths of me As I begin to profit from lessons life will teach My soul computes the progress my character has reached [Bridge] While my spirit is encased in my computer The former is neuter to my will Yet its promptings if followed as a tutor Can lead me to the goals I must fulfill [Verse 6] If I will start correcting my personality My character will shape up to make a better me With character perfected I have no further need Of using my computer the spirit will be freed
